This past weekend I visited the MET and wandered my way around taking in the beautiful art pieces. It was surreal to me to see some paintings that I have seen in pictures during my art classes up close and personal. The MET has wonderful paintings from Van Gogh to Monet and each techniques used in the paintings are so creative. The classes realistic art is definitely my favorite to look it. It is amazing to see paintings that look like it was photographed but, it is paint put together on a canvas. These types of artists always seemed more talented to me because the details in their paintings stuck out to me more and the amount of time it must have taken them to complete something so life like is incredible to me. On the other hand, I also really liked the modern art which is very different than realist art but, these paintings were always so unique and creative to me they also spoke to me and stood out to me. One of the pieces of the modern art collection in the MET is thirteen panels and each of them are solid colors but they turn into the other to make it look faded into one another, the colors of this piece are so vibrant and the use of colors in each panel is so wonderful and it is really satisfying to look at. Walking throughout the museum was very peaceful and relaxing but, it was an amazing experience. The sculptures were also very interesting to look at especially the ones in the European rooms because each of them were so life like and again it is incredible to see what one person can do with a some stone and clay. Overall my experience in the MET was wonderful and I will definitely go again to enjoy more art.
